Liza x L'Ami Jean: the ephemeral restaurant to try before everyone else

This is the hottest collab food of the season, to be tested before the terraces reopen to boost the morale of the troops and get back into the Parisian foodie bath.

When Liza Asseily , at the head of the coolest and most contemporary restaurant in Beirut , joins forces with Stéphane Jego , cult bistronomic chef of L'Ami Jean in the 7th district, it gives you a sharp table to test without further delay ...

It must be said that this association of greedy criminals is not at its first attempt. After having broken the house in Beirut with a festive and extraordinary author cuisine, the duo do it again in Paris directly from the kitchens of L iza, a stone's throw from the Stock Exchange.

The erotic potential of their menu? Condensing the DNA of French bistronomy in L'Ami Louis style and Liza's inimitable Mediterranean signature cuisine with an extraordinary mix and match of their signature dishes and know-how.

The best example? The cult rice pudding from Stéphane Jégo who travels in the East with orange nougat , pistachio and rose flower… Or Liza's legendary hummus, served with a frayed duck, parsley and pomegranate!

Concretely: it gives a real gastronomic show declined in 7 dishes which depot. Starting with the famous hummus and black lemon labneh with sumac, then roasted cauliflower with zaatar with parmesan cream and the famous fattoush salad .

Then comes the soft paleron of confit-grilled beef mixed with spicy notes of arak, harissa and almond sauce. And in fish, a cod with tabbouleh sauce and roasted olive ... before finishing with the famous rice pudding we talked about above.

Menu € 45 per person. Available for delivery and take away from Thursday to Sunday on restaurant-liza.com at 14 rue de la Banque, Paris 2e.
